The story
David Cook has applied for a variance from the minimum lot frontage rule in Unified Development Code Sec. 1-201 for 889 Varner Road in Carnesville. The property, owned by Willis H. and Carolyn A. Cook, is about 23.22 acres. The request is to create two lots without meeting the 60-foot minimum road frontage.
A county agenda item states that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance by a 5-0 vote. The record does not show a Planning Commission vote in the event data beyond that statement.
